Mr. Higgins:

I am indeed sorry; I thought we were dealing with the second paragraph of the first clause. I did not know it had been passed. According to one clock, Mr. Chairman, it is eleven o'clock; I do not know which clock we are going by. Clause 2 reads:

Throughout Canada, in each and every year, the first Monday following the twenty-third day of May shall be a legal holiday and shall be kept and observed as such under the name of Victoria day.
